Celebrate Every Cat

Household Pet (HHP) judging is one of the most rewarding roles in the cat fancy. It’s where all cats are welcome – from moggies to pedigrees with a twist – and where the focus is on temperament, presentation, and personality.

If you love cats in all their variety and want to make every exhibitor and every pet feel valued, this could be the perfect judging path for you.
